Student health insurance is included in the program fee from the day of arrival until the official end of the program.  Each student will receive a personal insurance card during orientation upon arrival.  Medical services are provided for reasonable fees and you should expect to pay for services in cash.  You will receive reimbursement afterwards from the insurance provider. Claims must be sent directly to the insurance company with a translation to English of the bills and a conversion of currency into dollars. The insurance includes:

24-Hour Emergency Help Line
Medical Referral Services for Local Hospitals, Physicians and Pharmacies
Legal Assistance Services
Travel Assistance Services
$250,000 Emergency Evacuation

Medication

If possible, students currently taking medication should consult with their doctor to receive a supply to last throughout the duration of their study abroad program.  If this is not possible, most generic drugs are available with a prescription in pharmacies in Chile and Argentina.

Medical Facilities

Santiago, Vina del Mar and Buenos Aires have very good medical facilities and we will provide you with contact information at the on-site orientation.  If you have a pre-existing medical condition, such as diabetes, please let ICambio know during the application process and we will be happy to accommodate your needs in both your homestay and at school. 

Disabilities

Most disabilities can be accommodated if the information is disclosed on the application in advance.  This will also allow us to better meet your needs.  Students with physical disabilities can be accommodated more easily in Argentina.  Students with learning disabilities are welcome to attend our programs but we have no additional on-site support. 

Immunizations

See your doctor at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to see if any vaccinations are necessary and to allow time for immunizations to take effect.

According to the World Health Organization, there are no vaccination requirements for any international traveler to Chile or Argentina. (http://www.who.int/ith/):

CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/travel/temsam.htm) recommends the following vaccines for those traveling to rural areas:

Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG).
Rabies, if you might be exposed to wild or domestic animals through your work or recreation.
Typhoid, particularly if you are visiting developing countries in this region.
Yellow fever vaccination is recommended only if you are traveling outside urban areas in Argentina.
As needed, booster doses for tetanus-diphtheria and measles.
